Newest video is out now! It's my longest and funnest video yet!

if supermarkets think i (a single person) am using an entire tub of source cream or big yoghurt in one go, they're sorely mistaken

[bryony @breeonikeon]

not to be controversial but attached water bottle lids aren’t the worst woke decision made. the worst one is that dips and hummus don’t have plastic lids on them anymore. what do you mean i can’t reseal them now without having to use clingfilm

For my American friends

UK is similar in latitude to Alaska
UK gets 2.5hrs more daylight than Texas
Las Vegas humidity is 30%, UK is 81%

Imagine Alaska having the same weather as Florida, that’s what’s going on here

Schrödinger's Neurodivergence: it's not really a disability and therefore you should get no support and are perfectly capable of working, but if you act in a way very common for your condition in the workplace then it's only correct that you be disciplined and let go.

No one - not a single person - created an Instagram account with the expectation that their photos would be used to generate AI advertisements.

If users had to proactively opt in to this, no one would. Instead, Meta doesn’t even notify you it’s happening.

Studios should not be allowed to buy a movie review app. It’s a huge conflict of interest that will prey on the general public’s desires for superficial recognition as studios tend to reward positive pr seen with influencers.

Democracy is when a mass surveillance law gets rejected multiple times so you force it through with an emergency vote right before summer recess

China scanning private messages - bad, evil, dystopian, mass surveillance

EU scanning private messages - good, protecting children, necessary, nothing to worry about

This is satanic and I'm not even being hyperbolic saying this. Meta created this tech so that NONE OF US have privacy and anonymity anywhere, because every person wearing them is using you for content and spying for Meta. I hope other countries outlaw them as a security threat.

Here’s how to stop people using Muse, Meta’s new AI image generator, to generate photos of you using your Instagram posts.

This is what's wrong with parents and why the government gets away with eroding rights.

YOU chose to give your kid a smartphone
YOU chose to give them complete access
YOU chose not to use parental controls
YOU chose not to use screen time limitations
YOU chose to not be a parent

[Marl Karx @BareLeft]

Absolutely fuck this, btw.

[sarah 🚩 @ratherbeinpisa]

this government has slashed sick and disabled people's means of survival in half and then effectively banned them from protesting. where is the outrage??

[Katherine Moore 🌻 @More_Kat_Moore]

I’m as Green as they come but you can just fuck off forever with these headlines while AI data centres exist.

[FilmIndex @FilmIndexMedia]

@PopBase Turn this off IMMEDIATELY!!

[talis is trying their best @introverttalis]

I beg your fucking pardon?

[Pop Base @PopBase]

Instagram now allows users to create AI images using other people’s public photos.

Users can generate AI images from public profiles by tagging accounts in their prompts.

Who is building the library of videos released before 2025 because I do actually think it’s important for me to use stock footage of species of fish and coral that, like, exist.
